I'm a philosopher and cognitive scientist at the Department of Philosophy at the University of Barcelona, where I am a Ramón y Cajal Fellow. I am a member of LOGOS and the Barcelona Institute for Analytic Philosophy (BIAP).

I completed the majority of my postdoctoral work at the University of Cambridge between 2018-2022, and prior to that did my PhD (Philosophy), MA (Philosophy) and B.Sci (Natural Sciences: Biology, Psychology & Philosophy) at  the Universities of Antwerp, Sheffield, King's College London and Durham. I've held visiting positions at the Institut Jean Nicod (2023-24) and Uppsala University (2024).

 

I was awarded the 2024 Arthur Danto/American Society of Aesthetics Prize by the American Philosophical Association. I was Co-Director of the project "Higher Values: Aesthetic Experiences, Transcendence & Prosociality" at the University of Cambridge (2022-2025, funded by the Templeton Religion Trust) with Simone Schnall.

I'm also Chair of the iCog network, and from 2015-2018 was co-editor of the British Society of Aesthetics' journal Debates in Aesthetics.
